The society that tortures children is equally good to the one
that opposes it. Does that sound twisted to you? It should, but to
many multiculturalists it doesn’t.
Embraced by many of today’s intellectuals,
multiculturalism is a philosophy which proposes one society is no
better than another, just different. Neither is right nor wrong,
and one’s greatest achievements are not any more important
than another’s. Universal truth does not exist. Truth exists
only according to the feelings of each particular race.
This means if a society had a tradition that involved torturing
young children, no other society would have the right to say
it’s wrong. A society could disagree, but would have to
respect the tradition as an equal belief. This equality of culture
is obviously not what the world needs. Instead we should strive to
have equality as individuals.
Equality as individuals means every person, no matter what race
they are, has a fair shot at acceptance to a school or job based on
ability. Those who demonstrate they are the best of the best will
be enrolled at the best universities and hired for the best jobs.
An individual of a minority race can feel proud when they are
rewarded because of their achievements and not because of the color
of their skin.
Athletics are a great example of this principle in practice. To
have the best basketball team, a coach gathers the best players.
The coach does not have a racial quota to fill, though some would
argue they should.
Currently African-Americans are the overwhelming majority in
collegiate and professional basketball and rightfully so. But this
does not mean other races are excluded. If a player displays
superior ability, they are picked regardless of their color. The
NBA proves this with the number of ethnicities represented,
especially recently from Eastern Europe. Some races may be
underrepresented, not because of racism, but because the best
players are those in the league. Why should striving to have the
best basketball team be any different than striving to have the
best people in a university or business?
It is different at this university because one of its highest
priorities is creating diversity at the expense of hard-working
people. This actually hurts hard-working minorities. They have to
live with the fact many may look at them and think they only got
into this university because they are part of a minority group and
not because they worked hard to get here.
Forced diversity also hurts achievement. If the best students
are not working with the best professors, how will we attain the
highest achievements? What if a certain student capable of curing
cancer didn’t meet the leading professional in the field
because he was denied admission due to a racial quota?
Some will read this article and twist it to make it sound
racist, when it is anything but that. What is being promoted is the
individual. As human beings we are all given the same tools, a mind
to reason with, and a body to implement what we wish to do.
Regardless of where we are from, or what kind of formal education
we’ve had, we all should have the ability and opportunity to
achieve great things through a variety of means.
Contrary to popular belief, college is not the only way. There
are hundreds of great Americans who did not go to college and some
didn’t even get to finish high school. The individual who has
his or her freedom is capable of doing anything. Multiculturalism
restricts the freedom of individuals by placing higher value on
racial groups.
